Altenew May 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop
Welcome everyone!! Today we are celebration the Altenew May stamp and die release. If you’re coming from Virginia Lu’s blog, then you’re in the right place!
I’ve selected the Garden Silhouette and Rustic Linen stamps to work with for my cards. I’ve used Tim Holtz Distress Markers on the flowers to get a watercolor effect.
By using the markers, I was able to add small amounts of color to the blossom portions of the stamps. I’ve created a simple background for my tags by stamping the Rustic Linen stamp in white onto Desert Storm cardstock.
I used the vase from the Garden Silhouette stamp set with one single flower. My card is mini size where I’ve folded over a 4.25″x5.5″ panel.
I started with yellow tones of markers in the center of the flower and worked my way out with oranges and pink.
I’ve filmed a video of how I colored these flowers which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
There is an amazing line up of designers participating in this hop, I’ve included the complete list below.
Thanks so much for stopping by the Simon Says Stamp blog, your next stop on the hop is to Lilith Eeckels.
Enjoy!!

FAB! Love the softness of the stamping and the watercolour effect. LOVE them all. D
Two beautifully done cards, Shari. Loved that desert storm rustic linen background especially! So smart to stamp with white ink onto that color which added such depth and texture! I love the soft muted colors of the garden images and touch of twine as well.
